THIS is the moment former White House intern Monica Lewinsky abruptly interrupted a panel interview to storm off the stage after being asked a question on her affairs with former US President Bill Clinton.

Ms Lewinsky was embroiled in a torrid affair with the former US President while interning at the White House in the mid-1990s.

Journalist Yonit Levi asked the former intern whether she had received a personal apology from Mr Clinton for his behaviour towards her after the end of their affair but Ms Lewinsky's reaction was less than pleased.

Ms Yonit asked: "Recently in an interview on NBC News, former President Clinton was rather irate when he was asked if he ever apologised to you personally. And he said ‘I apologised publicly.’ Do you still expect that apology, a personal apology?"

Ms Lewinsky was quick to shut down the Israeli journalist, saying "I’m so sorry, I’m not going to be able to do this," before storming off stage.

Ms Lewinsky, who had just delivered a lecture on cyberbullying, later explained Ms Levi had broken the terms of their agreement with her question about Mr Clinton.

She later posted a message on Twitter explaining there had been "clear parameters" about which topics could be discussed and she has been "misled."

She wrote: "After a talk today on the perils and positives of the Internet, there was to be a 15-minute conversation to follow up on the subject of my speech (not a news interview).

"There were clear parameters about what we would be discussing and what we would not. In fact, the exact question the interviewer asked first, she had put to me the day prior. I said that was off limits. When she asked me on stage, with blatant disregard for our agreement, it became clear to me I had been misled."

Ms Lewinsky added: "I left because it is more important than ever for women to stand up for themselves and not allow others to control their narrative. To the audience: I'm very sorry that this talk had to end this way."

The scandalous Clinton-Lewinsky relationship resulted in the impeachment of the President in the House of Representatives on the charge of perjury after the President denied having had "sexual relations with that woman."

On January 26, 1998, Mr Clinton addressed the nation with his fist clenched and his voice shaking, insisting: “These allegations are false.”

Secretly taped confessions and the world’s most infamous stained blue dress ultimately led the US President to admit an “improper physical relationship” with 24-year-old Ms Lewinsky seven months later.
